DRAGONFLY 40 KEY FEATURES

INTERIOR

The new Dragonfly 40 introduces an impressive interior styling to the Dragonfly range. Double private forward cabin with lockers, large hull portlights and skylight. Enclosed double aft cabin with storage and dressing seat. Ample natural light internally creates an open and aerated feel on board.  

A spacious dinette with a folding table quickly converts the port sofa into a double bunk. The centreboard trunk is hidden under the dinette table and extends back under the galley counter. Generous L-shaped galley with work tops on port and starboard side. A systems compartment aft of the accommodation provides an insulated and soundproof section for engine, water heater and tanks. Access for servicing is direct through the cockpit floor. 

EXTERIOR

Each wheel pedestal can accommodate 2 x MFD displays with mountings for a 12 inch plotter close by. The controls for bow thruster, windlass and engines are easy to access for simple maneuvering from the helm station. Furthermore, there is room for additional electronic displays above the companionway. Behind each wheel, a folding footrest and adjustable backrest give you comfort when at the helm. Below is a storage room for fenders and mooring lines. There is a bathing ladder aft on each float. Kick-up rudder and centreboard make it possible to dry out or even beach the boat and prevent impact damage while sailing. 

KEY FEATURES

  • Six full-sized berths
  • Swing Wing System as standard
  • Fastest and largest multihull in the fleet
  • Oversized cockpit
  • Optional canvas ‘cabriolet’ turning the cockpit into an exterior saloon

DRAGONFLY FACTS

DRAGONFLY DESIGNERS

Dragonfly founder Jens Quorning teamed up with Danish naval designers Olsen Design in 2005, and their innovative collaboration was the start of a successful new era for Dragonfly Trimarans, with the introduction of 3D design.

Steen Olsen is the sole owner of Olsen Design and has played an integral role in the design and calculations of the last four Dragonfly models. Steen has more than 20 years of experience in naval design and has designed folding propellers, hatches and optimised rig details for America’s Cup sailboats. Steen has a passion for sailing and has won several racing awards internationally.

DRAGONFLY BUILD

The Dragonfly reputation starts with what sets them apart … top of the line, fast, lightweight trimarans.

Dragonfly's construction has consistent quality, a great team and customisation. Dragonfly Trimarans have been made in the same boatyard for 50 years, working towards widespread acceptance. The production facility has dedicated and highly skilled staff setting impossibly high standards for modern boatbuilding today. Working closely with some of the most qualified and experienced suppliers and subcontractors in the world, resulting in boats of impeccable, flawless quality.

SWING-WING SYSTEM

The award-winning Dragonfly Swing Wing system was designed by Borge and Jens Quorning in 1989. Using this revolutionary system, the trimaran can be folded to reduce the beam by more than 50% in less than one minute per side, using no tools and operating only from the cockpit.

This unique folding system has been standard on all Dragonflies since the introduction of the Quorning Swing Wing system. This allows them to use marina berths intended for monohulls and to be trailerable, saving space when accommodated in a harbour, marina or on land greatly reduces your storage costs!

TMG YACHTS Lagoon 46 Owner Testimonial

Navigating the Mediterranean: Jabulani’s Adventure Continues

It’s been one hell of a trip. The Mediterranean offers a rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes, travelling through different countries and exploring the local ingredients and cooking techniques has been an incredible experience. I don’t think we’ll ever lose some of the friends we’ve met, and we’re all living our dream… Our favourite features on our Lagoon are the flybridge, Code Zero, water-maker and generator.”

First Lagoon 51 Handover

“Thank you, TMG for all the wonderful support throughout this journey of mine. Thanks to Joe, thanks to John I’m very happy with the service and delivery, it’s all been magnificent.” said new Lagoon 51 owner, Tony.

Australian owned Lagoon 450F Wins the ARC

“It’s fast if you sail it well. In those first few days, we were averaging 10-15kts which is what gave us the advantage.” If anyone says a “Lagoon is just a floating apartment” or “doesn’t sail well” they are incorrect. – Lagoon 450F “Aphrodite,” Class B ARC winner.

“We are very thankful to TMG for the amazing handover of our Lagoon 42. The whole process has been outstanding, from our initial sales with Joe Fox to the coordination of services by TMG’s service partner VesselTec.” – Vincent and Amanda, Lagoon 42.

JABULANI'S JOURNEY Lagoon 46 TMG

Where Jabulani’s Journey Began

“Meeting the TMG team and being welcomed into the family was the start of the journey. They took the time to understand us, who we are and what we want to achieve from our dreams. TMG assisted us with the technical, the practical and helped us to navigate the process from purchase to delivery and beyond to reach our aspirations. Now we are living our dream, and it’s thanks to TMG… The 46 is next level. She meets all of our needs to entertain our family and cruise the oceans of the world.” – Mike & Linda, Lagoon 46 owners.

Lagoon Catamaran Owners

Buying a Catamaran in the Middle of a Pandemic

Buying a catamaran and deciding to wrap up your life on land to sail the world is a life-changing decision, one made a little harder when caught up amongst the pandemic and uncertainty it caused.

So we turned to new Lagoon owners Ian and Jackie who put together an incredible story to give you the reality of what this experience was really like for them.

Lagoon 450s - TMG Yachts Previously The Multihull Group

Lagoon European Launch 2020

“We highly recommend TMG. Rowan at TMG was responsive, professional and patient at every turn during this process, from selection of boat options (Lagoon 450S) prior to purchase, all the way through handover of the boat in France.” Karen, Lagoon 450S.

Lagoon 42, Bilby

“Through our travels, we’ve met other Lagoon 42 owners who bought their boat through other brokers (overseas)… You don’t know how good you’ve got it until you meet someone who got much less. A big thank you! Everything we wanted on the boat was delivered. Everything works & we were shown how it works. Any failures are ours due lack of familiarity or faulty memory.” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 50, Themis

Fourth time Lagoon owner John Pruim has just become the first Lagoon 50 owner in Australia!!! “Lagoon allows you to go from a to b safely, easily and reliably. There is a sense of comfort and space, perfect for being a house on the water…” Says John. “The team at The Multihull Group will work with you to ensure you get just the set up you desire…” – John Pruim – Lagoon 50, Themis

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 42, Sabella

“”Lagoons are boldly angular in shape, and we thought that was fantastic. It creates that space inside and looks great on the outside. And the sailing performance for a production catamaran … is very very good.

When we arrived in Les Sables-d’Olonne John had this rockstar entrance… surreal does not even begin to describe how it felt.”
” – Aaron and Lara Jones – Lagoon 42, Sabella

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 42, Bilby

“A big tick to TMG… They’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG.
” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Antics on the Flybridge

“It’s very very easy, so much space, we just had 4 couples for 5 days, it was very chilled out and relaxed.

The flybridge is such a big beautiful place with a view, its elevated and we put permanent clears around ours so you can use it anytime, day or night, windy or raining, it doesn’t matter. You can sit up there have lunch, have dinner. We call it the first class lounge, you can’t go wrong.” – Anthony and Seryn Ryan – Lagoon 630MY, Antics

Latest Pickup In France – The World Carries On

These Lagoon 40 owners recently took delivery, “We decided to stick to our schedule and pick up our Lagoon 40 in Les Sables-d’Olonne in early March despite the uncertainty surrounding the current worldwide pandemic and the lockdown in France (curfew in France is 7 pm).”

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

“We love our Lagoon, we’ve been out in some pretty tough conditions and it’s always brought us home safe, it’s fantastic under sail and great at anchor so we absolutely love our boat.

Our favourite thing about our boat is the places it can take us, we get to see a lot of the east coast that most people can only imagine to see and to be able to access it with a boat it’s just fantastic.” – Matt Doncan – Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

“Greg and Sue Harding created and monitor the Lagooned in Oz Facebook Community and are vital and enthusiastic Lagoon owners.

The pair have owned numerous Lagoons and love their current Lagoon 440. – Greg and Sue Harding” – Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

There is more enjoyment in a sailboat in that the enjoyment is in the journey as much as it’s in the destination. That to me makes it a totally different experience.

The advantage of a flybridge to me is the fact you are that much higher off the surface of the water, you can get better vision all around, a greater sense of being on-top of the whole thing and I do enjoy being out in the sun most of the time.” – Jeff D’Albora – Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

Dragonfly Trimaran

Dragonfly , USA

It’s really the quality, that it’s the best. When I went to look at the factory, every tool had a place and they had a very specific system. And everyone was clearly trained and they seemed to take such pride in what they were doing.

Dragonfly Trimaran

Dragonfly , SE

We have a 28 Performance. I think I was convinced when we went down to Dragonfly for a test sail. Then it started to move things and well, I think we need to switch. It is great fun, I must say. I mean, when you get the wind, you get the speed and it

Paul Rogers is one of the founders of Lagooned in Oz “…the best thing about our lifestyle is not the boat or location, it’s the people. There is a whole community of Lagoon owners, and the Lagoon events have connected us with so many wonderful people.” – Paul Rogers, Moor RnR

Lagoon Owner

Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

David and Nerida Lee have been living aboard and sailing their Lagoon 380 for years, speaking highly of Lagoon as a brand and their on water lifestyle.

“The fact that you can wake up every morning with different scenery… it’s the freedom! For us it was finding a boat that would take us and all our possessions and our Lagoon does that. We live and sail in paradise! ” – David and Nerida Lee – Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

“The entire TMG team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable… From our first enquiry, through specification, order, to delivery and after-sales, TMG have been terrific to deal with. Ordering our Lagoon 40 was no small decision and a perfect delivery reassured us from the start,” Mike Pain.

“Ross was super – he went through everything.

We’ve never had that; going through everything was a huge positive.” – Graeme and Linda Hubbard – Lagoon 39, Zephyr

Adèle 1

“I think it’s a fascinating and great way to live … so many people put things off until retirement and then can’t achieve their dream when they get there.

I’m happy with my choice.

It stretches you a bit and you juggle a lot of things, but with good people like the team at TMG, you can follow your dream.” – Drew Hakin, Adèle 1

Dragonfly Trimaran

Dragonfly , USA

We wondered how it would perform in the conditions that we’re going to have to sail it in. And my impression, to date, is that it handles the swell and the rough seas and the wind beautifully, even better than our monohull. So, so far, I’m delighted.

REVIEWS BY THE EXPERTS

New Dragonfly 40

Cat Sailing News

One does need to be an expert Multihull sailor to handle a Dragonfly 40 or any other fast cruiser/daysailer Trimaran. Easy of handling, stability and a hell of a ride are the key assets offered. To achieve that kind of performance on a Catamaran you would need a light performance cat with a powerful rig.
